During the of_pci_make_host_bridge_node() call, an OF node is created
dynamically and its fwnode device (fwnode->dev) is set to the PCI root
bridge device using the fw_devlink_set_device(&np->fwnode, &bridge->dev)
call.

On removal, of_pci_remove_host_bridge_node() is called and calls
device_remove_of_node() which in turn set to NULL the related
dev->fwnode.

Later in the removal sequence, device_del() is called and runs its
cleanup logic:

    if (dev->fwnode && dev->fwnode->dev == dev)
        fw_devlink_set_device(dev->fwnode, NULL);

Because dev->fwnode has been cleared earlier, fw_devlink_set_device()
is not called and leaves fwnode->dev unchanged. This fwnode device
(fwnode->dev) becomes an dangling pointer.

If any reference to the OF node is held after this removal, the pointer
is still accessible using the OF node (np->fwnode.dev) but points to a
freed area.

The exact same issue is present in the of_pci_make_host_bridge_node()
error path leading to the exact same dangling fwnode->dev.

Avoid this dangling fwnode->dev pointer by clearing it in
of_pci_remove_host_bridge_node() and in of_pci_make_host_bridge_node()
error path.
